After the end of the World War, Roque was awarded the title of Marshal by the United Kingdom, France, and Belgium.
What is left now is not the Southern African Union countries, but within the Commonwealth.
Roque was originally a marshal in southern Africa. After the establishment of the Atlantic Fleet, the Canadian autonomous government decided to award Roque the title of marshal. Now Australia and New Zealand have also been added. In total, Roque already has seven or eight marshal titles.
Having too many marshals is worthless, just like medals.
Roque had originally received an Order of the Garter and two Victoria Crosses. After the Washington Naval Conference, Roque received another Order of the Garter. The medals on his chest could hardly be hung anymore.
Roque now has an Order of Southern Africa, a French Legion of Honor, two Garters, and two Victoria Medals hanging on his chest.
Neville was even more angry when he saw Roark's two Garters and two Victoria Medals. He was also an official of the British Empire and he had none.
"It's all a false name, don't worry about it -" Rock said lightly, don't worry about the Marshal's Medal or anything else, it's just a false name.
"Lord Nyasaland, I hope that we in the United States can cooperate more closely with the Southern African Union in the future." Representing the United States was the new Secretary of State Henry Lewis Stimson.
Stimson was born in an aristocratic manor on Long Island, New York, and received an elite education since childhood. In 1906, he served as the U.S. District Attorney for the Southern District of New York State; in 1910, he failed to run for governor of New York on behalf of the Republican Party; in 1911, Stimson served as the U.S. Secretary of War; the first
During World War I, Stimson participated in the World War with the rank of artillery lieutenant colonel and was promoted to brigadier general during the period.
During the World War, Stimson worked with Hoover in Belgium to provide assistance to American expatriates in Europe.
After Hoover entered the White House, he appointed Stimson as Secretary of State.
"Henry, congratulations, Herbert has chosen a competent Secretary of State." Rock congratulated sincerely. He and Stimson also fought side by side during the World War.
"I bring good news. Washington has officially canceled the Chinese Exclusion Act. From now on, Chinese Americans in the United States will have the same social status as other ethnic groups. I believe that Chinese Americans in the United States can also create the same achievements as in southern Africa.
"Brilliant." Stimson was a politician and a strategist, and he also had an extremely deep understanding of Rock and Southern Africa, which minimized the occurrence of miscalculations.
"That's great! Congratulations to Washington for making the right choice." Although Rock had already received the news, he still acted as surprised as if he had just learned about it.
"Lord, if you have time tomorrow, we can sit down and have a talk." Stimson had something to do with Rock.
"No problem, I'll be waiting for you at the Ministry of Defense tomorrow morning." Rock agreed readily. No need to ask, it must be the Atlantic Fleet and the Bahamas military base.
The current Bahamas is not the world-famous tourist destination it will be in the future, but a pirate's nest and a smuggler's paradise.
Pirates in the Bahamas have a long history. It is rumored that the famous Pirates of the Caribbean treasure is in the Bahamas. The reason why the Bahamas will become famous in the future is probably because there are too many people hunting for treasure. As a result, the pirate treasure was not found. I accidentally discovered that the scenery in the Bahamas is not bad, so the Bahamas was unexpectedly
Become popular.
Hey, such a product feels almost like checking in with an internet celebrity.
After the introduction of Prohibition in the United States, the Bahamas became a base camp for alcohol smugglers. Most of the red wine from Europe was split and repackaged in the Bahamas before entering the United States.
The United Kingdom is now transferring the management of the Bahamas to southern Africa. On the one hand, it is implementing a global contraction strategy, and on the other hand, it is also using southern Africa to form a more effective check and balance on the United States.
Rock wants southern African goods to enter the US market more smoothly, but he doesn't want to go to war with the United States, so Rock must make good use of the Bahamas.
At eight o'clock sharp, Philip and Adekitchina appeared at the banquet together. There were finally fewer people around Roque. Only then did Roque notice that he temporarily suspended his global travel and returned to Pretoria to witness the Southern African Union.
Arthur and Gavin, who had just set up, were surrounded by a group of ladies chatting with each other.
"The United States is very interesting. They have invented something that can enhance people's concentration. It is actually a metal bucket that is buckled on the head, blocking all people's sense of hearing and smell. Even the air circulation uses oxygen bottles. Americans
I think this can enhance people's concentration and work and study more effectively-" Arthur was very good at adjusting the atmosphere, and he had all kinds of interesting stories at his fingertips, and the ladies around him listened with gusto.
"I found an electric-driven bicycle in the United States. It is very convenient to use and the noise is very small and almost negligible. I thought it was very interesting, so I brought a few back. I will let Uncle Diesel see them some other day.
Let’s see if there is any possibility of promotion in our southern Africa.” Gavin is also growing up, he is more influenced by Roque, and his business sense is obviously sharper.
Even Rock didn't expect that in 1921, electric bicycles would have developed to this extent.
This is an electric bicycle that is almost the same as what Roque remembers. It is also a relatively new style of women's pedal electric bicycle, and it also uses lithium batteries. When Roque saw it at first sight, he almost thought that the same time in the world
There is another time traveler.
"Can I ride it?" She was disappointed not to be able to travel around the world with Arthur and Gavin. When she heard that Arthur and Gavin had returned to Pretoria and would rather take leave to participate in political activities that they were not interested in, Luo Ya was eager to give it a try.
.
Such a long attributive fully shows the deep relationship between Roya and Arthur Gavin.
"Of course, I tried it, and it can ride at least five kilometers." Gavin vowed that the electric vehicles of this era can be very fashionable in appearance, but their performance cannot be compared with those in the 21st century that can easily travel hundreds of kilometers.
But considering it's only 1921, this is quite astonishing.
At this time, Gavin finally noticed Roark and immediately ran over enthusiastically: "Father, do you want to give it a try?"
Looking at his son's expectant eyes, Rock couldn't bear to refuse.
However, considering that this was the banquet hall of the Palace of Justice, Rock could still restrain his curiosity.
"I tried it in the United States, and it was indeed very good -" Rock casually touched his head as he spoke. Gavin squinted his eyes comfortably and rubbed Rock's hand: "-We lack oil in southern Africa.
, Electric vehicles are a very good project and have great prospects.”
Rock also doesn’t know why electric vehicles, which have become so developed now, have been lost in the long river of history and remained silent for hundreds of years.
There may be conspiracy theories, there may not be.
It doesn't matter, the world with Rock will never be lonely.
"There is a genius engineer in the United States called Nikola Tesla. You can talk to him. He has a very good relationship with us. Our earliest Walvis Bay Hydropower Station was built thanks to Mr. Tesla's help." Nikola
·Tesla is the eternal pain in Rock's heart. Southern Africa invited Nikola Tesla many times, but unfortunately Nikola Tesla was unwilling to come to Southern Africa.
"We met Mr. Nikola Tesla in the United States, but his condition was not very good. In order to help him rebuild his laboratory, Gavin and I used a little of our personal savings." He was almost a child.
Compared to Gavin, Arthur is much more normal. He is now about the same height as Rock. After traveling around the world for several months, he feels obviously more mature.
Although Arthur and Gavin are still young, they actually already have a lot of assets in their names, but these assets are now managed by Phyllis and Ada. When Arthur and Gavin grow up, they will gradually participate in the family business.
manage.
At this time, the test has actually just begun. Don’t think that Arthur and Gavin have the absolute right to deal with the assets in their names.
If they do not manage well after taking over, they will gradually lose these rights and become a family reproductive machine, and even the right to inherit the title will be deprived.
"Great, a smart choice. Investing in people with potential is the only way to grow wealth." Roque is best at being a hands-off shopkeeper, and of course he also carefully trains his son.
"Uncle Locke, can you tell my father and let me travel around the world with Arthur and Gavin? It would be terrible without Arthur and Gavin in the school. I don't want to stay there for a minute."
Luo Ya and Roque are also strangers, and they know how to use Roque to achieve their own goals.
"Ha, dear niece, I can't help you with this, so I'll go find your Aunt Ada." Roque laughed. It's not easy to help him with this, and it would be bad if someone died.
Stoudemire has always wanted to marry Rock. In Stoudemire's opinion, both Arthur and Gavin are good choices.
Rock doesn't interfere in the children's marriage. If it were someone else, they might need to marry to form an alliance of interests. Rock doesn't need it. Even if there is no marriage, the relationship between Rock and Stoudemire is unshakable.
Of course, if Roya and Arthur or Gavin truly love each other, Rock would also be happy to see it happen.
"My dear, if you are willing to marry our Arthur, then I will go find your father." Ada doesn't mind watching the excitement, and marrying Luo Ya is also a good choice for Arthur.
Stoudemire is now a man with a title, and marrying into the Rhodes family is not considered a disgrace to the Cape family.
Considering the influence of the Rhodes family in southern Africa, Roya and Arthur are a perfect match.
Luo Ya can act coquettishly and cutely towards Roque, but these methods have no effect on Ada, a thousand-year-old fox.
But I couldn't fall out, so I could only sulk.
Alas, this kind of thing shouldn't be openly ridiculed in public.
Arthur could only look at his mother helplessly.
Even though she is already several decades old, she still speaks eloquently. The dignified Countess Finance Minister is usually shrewd and decisive, but when she met Roque, she acted like a little girl.
Maybe this is what love looks like.
:Brothers may not believe it, but I found a treasure website yesterday. They are all old photos from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. After technical processing, they are still in color. Oh my, I looked at them for six hours at a time, and there were more than 1,900 photos, so
